A Nigerian Air Force airstrike hit a market in Yobe State’s border area with Borno, reportedly killing more than 200 people. The incident occurred on Saturday night in the village market of Jilli, where local residents and a councilor confirmed the high death toll. The attack targeted the area near the border, which has long been affected by violence.
The Nigerian Air Force stated that its operation was aimed at fighters from the militant group Boko Haram but did not acknowledge striking a civilian market. The region, known for the presence of armed militias, frequently experiences clashes that have caused thousands of deaths over time. Local officials said the injured were taken to hospitals in Yobe and Borno for treatment.
Three residents and a non-governmental organization also reported that the number of dead could exceed 200, according to Reuters and BBC sources.
